Artisan Alley in Stockport

This is to thank the staff at Stanley Green Costa Coffee for going above and beyond following our little mishap. As my Wife was approaching our table with a tray containing 3 large coffees she appeared to lose control of the tray with the result that they all spilt on both of us sat at the table and the table and floor area. The staff reacted immediately confirming we were all ok and provided cloths for us to wipe ourselves down. They could not have been more helpful and the icing on the cake was that they then delivered a further three replacement coffees on the house.

It needs a good clean the tables and chairs are really dirty, I only had porridge which was ok , but it all needs a good scrub

Food, alcohol, clothing, stationary and household products. This store seems to have less choice of products on the shelves and many of the lower price, own brand products seem to have been discontinued or out of stock. Good parking, toilet facilities in store. There are multiple access points, two one of which is situated inside the exit door on Warren Street, the other is in the muti story car park. There is also a ramp situated on Millgate. The escalators here no lo get operate to allow entry.

What a shame this is the review I wrote when we attended the Christmas experience in 2023 - We came this evening with 9 children from the ages of 11 months old to 12 years old and each and everyone of them thoroughly enjoyed it. The work that has gone in To make the experience special is so obvious and appreciated. Thank you for going the extra mile; this was truly the best Santa experience we have had. The team all work so hard to make it magical and they are a credit to the farm. Thank you What a massive difference for 2024 - Last year we went to the Santa grotto experience (gifted by our mum paying a lot of money for 4 adults and 9 children) and it was amazing. Every single detail I couldn’t fault and we were so thankful to the team and our mum for treating us to this. My mum decided to pay for us all again and herself and my step dad to come as well as we had gone on about how amazing it was and how much she would love it. To say we were hugely disappointed is an understatement. The elf work shop was poor compared to last year - last year was like a panto and funny for everyone. This year it was rushed. The sorting office was awful. Last year they played games; this year it was like a holding area until we could get in the next room. Kids had hot chocolate last year and a lovely story read to them. No hot chocolates and a terrible discombobulated story being told by the least convincing mrs clause (who was desperate to go home that she was seen changing and leaving in front of the kids). Marshmellows was a nice touch. Being left to wait in a queue in the cold for 30 mins to see Santa was awful. Last year we all went into a room together and were entertained by the amazing American elf. Santa was lovely and it was great. This year when we finally made it in, Santa immediately said we would have to hurry coz there was a queue. He didn’t ask the children anything or interact with them properly just gave them a coin. It felt like a money maker or getting a picture for us to purchase. Last year I wanted to purchase a picture and had every intention of buying another. I didn’t out of principle. My poor mum was left in tears feeling like she had wasted her money and it was disappointing for us all. In all truthfulness, it was and she did waste her money. Whatever changes you made from the year before have really not had the intended outcome and it is such a shame.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Superb pricing.
